By Thornton Wilder | Directed by Robert Hupp Thornton Wilder American Classic, Our Town, Up Next at Syracuse Stage, Production Features Syracuse-Based Actor Jim True-Frost from HBO’s The Wire, Boardwalk Empire. “The life of a village against the life of the stars” is how Thornton Wilder described his heralded masterpiece Our Town. “It is an attempt,” he wrote, “to find a value above all price for the smallest events in our daily life.” He succeeded with this graceful and poetic play—a heartfelt call to cherish every unimportant moment we’re together and to embrace the true wonder and brevity of being alive.
